I found this confusing as an audiobook and would not recommend listening to it.
The change of narration POV was confusing. The love story felt forced. I liked the character of Coralie, but wanted more from her story. Remove Eddie, the forced relationship and focus more on her forging her own path for a stronger narrative.
A lot was going on in this book and suddenly it all wrapped up so quickly at the end. What started off as an interesting tale became unsatisfying and boring at the end.
